Jedi Code in Kanan #7
In Kanan #7, it was shown -- in two different scenes -- how the younglings and Depa Billaba repeat the incantation of the Original Jedi Code instead of the 'Refined' version in Dark Disciple.
However, neither Dark Disciple nor Kanan #7 has an explanation on the differences.
How best to add the shorter, 'Original' version to this article? [ pepoluan talk ] 05:17, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps similar to the way it's done in the Legends article, with a note in the Behind the scenes? ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:34, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
- Doesn't feel right to me... the one in the Legends article mentioned some accidental 'darkening' of the Code, while in Kanan #7 it was explicitly incantated as part of a trial/test.
See here for the scene.

Version of Jedi Code in Fandex
The Jedi Code I have goes like this: There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is only the force. A Jedi does not act for personal power or wealth but seeks knowledge and enlightenment. A Jedi never acts from hatred, anger, fear, or aggression but acts when calm and at peace with the Force.
Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy. Jedi use the powers to defend and to protect, never to attack others. Jedi respect all life, in any form. Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training. . I just wanted to let people know what one full version of the code is. Fandex has gotten things wrong before. One example of this is they said Darth Maul's home planet was Iridonia, while most others say it was Dathomir.

Jedi Code in tcw (and ye olden days)
In "The Rise of Clovis" Obi-Wan says that romantic feelings aren't forbidden, so I feel like that part of the article is somewhat misleading?
Edit. Lucas has also repeatedly made the distinction that the Jedi are allowed to love, but they're not allowed to be possessive about things or unable to let them go (aka attached) "But the Jedi can’t be selfish. They can love but they can’t love people to the point of possession. You can’t really possess somebody, because people are free. It’s possession that causes a lot of trouble, and that causes people to kill people, and causes people to be bad. Ultimately it has to do with being unwilling to give things up."

And while the Jedi don't start new families without leaving the Order first, there is blood relatives in the Order that clearly knows and love each other (Tiplee and Tiplar from "The Unknown"for an example), and we see Jedi refer to each other and the Order as family both in "Jedi Crash" and Dark Disciple. So I feel like the family part could also use some more nuance.
The Code (both versions) first appeared in the 1987 Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, which could be interesting trivia for the Behind the Scenes section. (Mozzlan (talk) 19:01, September 9, 2020 (UTC))
Poor Quote
Can we find a different quote for the introduction to "The Code"? It uses this line from Claudia Grey's "Into the Dark"
"So, the Jedi are Force users united in our quest to understand the mysteries of the Force and to serve as guardians of peace and justice throughout the galaxy. […] we ground ourselves in a spiritual existence and give up individual attachments in order to focus entirely on greater concerns."
"So, that means no sex."
"Basically."
This is a drastic mischaracterization, and while it is used in the novel to put Hollow at ease, it does not at all represent the meaning of the code in either Canon or Legends. Lucas has been firm. The Jedi can love. They can even have sex. They cannot form lasting attachments (possession or the inability to let go).

- I agree that's not the best quote to introduce the tenets of the Jedi. I do think the first sentence is a good summary though. Might it be better to remove the last two lines? OOM 224 (he/him) 15:12, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
"older version of the Jedi's mantra"
In chapter 8 of Path of Vengeance (382 BBY), on page 85, Oliviah Zeveron and Vildar Mac recite the words "A Jedi does not act for personal power or wealth …" "But only seeks knowledge and enlightenment". The narration describes it as an "older version of the Jedi's mantra", and Vildar Mac characterizes it as "a lesson in the Code."
The narration also provides context: "Matty knew [it] only from history crystals". History crystals are interesting, too! Memory crystals like the Kyber crystal, maybe?
This could be good information in the Jedi_Code#History section. Mrilafolle (talk) 18:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
